I didn't know it was a protective/preventative measure. I don't think it will be a problem with my existing hardware.

Now that your system is clean you should SET A NEW RESTORE POINTto prevent future reinfection from the old restore point AFTER cleaning your system of any malware infection. Any trojans or spyware you picked up could have been saved in System Restore and are waiting to re-infect you. Since System Restore is a protected directory, your tools can not access it to delete files, trapping viruses inside. Setting a new restore point should be done to prevent any future reinfection from the old restore point and enable your computer to "roll-back" in case there is a future problem.

To SET A NEW RESTORE POINT:1. Go to Start > Programs > Accessories > System Tools and click "System Restore".2. Choose the radio button marked "Create a Restore Point" on the first screen then click "Next". Give the R.P. a name then click "Create". The new point will be stamped with the current date and time. Keep a log of this so you can find it easily should you need to use System Restore.3. Then go to Start > Run and type: Cleanmgr4. Click "OK".5. Click the "More Options" Tab.6. Click "Clean Up" in the System Restore section to remove all previous restore points except the newly created one.

Most important thing is to make sure Windows is kept up to date with the latest patches and updates from Windows Update.
